Not For Nothin'

Not too much football to talk and bet on? No problem we got you covered with all the hot takes! And we are taking sides on everything. Shannon Sharpe vs The Grizz - who are the new villains by the way. Pippen's ex sleeping with Jordan's son, that's not intentional and weird. Ben Simmons or Markelle Fultz...wait what are doing here for this one? Moving on. WNBA favorites and Chris is crying why he can't bet on it. Plus we pick the NFL Conference Champs.

This is a positive podcast episode... or a 'podsitive" if you will. They start off on a Charles Kuralt rabbit hole. Then the discussion turns to state animals or mammals, which sounds as dumb as it is. Why do half the states all have white-tail deers? Then you find out about "Gary Bird" and why people come up with terrible nicknames. Then they move on to NFL show talk and Chris tries not to go O-for again.

The boys decide to grow up and be men...let at least Chris is cause he changed his own flat tire. They talk about the power of learning from YouTube, how Lovie Smith went out and then they recap their NFL preseason picks and try their luck on Wild Card Weekend. Maybe they should just pull a McVay...Or would it be a Kingsbury?

They ramble on about the NFL and the Damar Hamlin situation. Then they ramble on about Georgetown and the state of college basketball in general. And then they ramble on about "soccer parents" and their stupid pettiness when they don't get their way...at the professional level! I'm sensing a theme here - people at their worst. They also reluctantly make the week 18 NFL picks. Yaaaay! It's all just so weird. But whatever, I guess, right?

We delve into good stand up comics, and re-review Chris most hated comic special on Netflix. speaking of comics, we get a life update on Jay Mohr of all people. We try to come up with new New Year resolutions, it'll never work. Work through the malice at the palace v.2 and the Jokic obsession. And then finish it all off with NFL week 17 picks.

The big question of the show is, shouldn't DirectTV come remove all the satellite dishes from the customers who cancel their service? They answer is yes (spoiler alert)! We discussed Franco Harris and how the Steelers don't induct their players into a ring of honor. Also Chris finds another crappy documentary that he likes. Kris hates the stupid bowl games in baseball stadiums. As always the wrap things up try to be big time shark and big every single stupid game for week 16 in the NFL. At least Kris is back to .500.

Kris is sick and tired...literally. Chris goes on a few rants about comedians, sports, etc. The only good thing he has to say is about random Knicks fans. Go figure. For some reason they keep trying to pick a winning week for the NFL season. Maybe they'll get a Christmas miracle.

They start off by going back in the day and talking about "tagging" and their love of graffiti. They get into getting their Christmas trees up early, leading to their love of Home Depot. That exacerbates their hate on mom & pops (stores), which has been Kris's seventh circle of hell for the last two years. Long story short. Chris has sad World Cup betting stories and then they pick the NFL games for week 13. Oh yeah, Chris loves his egg nog.

This episode starts off quiet and somber, cause it's Thanksgiving week and that means spending time with family...or family of family. From there, obviously, they sing the praises of Gen Z, who are really making the case for the best and coolest generation right now. As Whitney once sang, "I believe the children are our future." Can we just do away with Thanksgiving at this point...but keep the days off though. We get little more excited about the World Cup and then Chris prattles on about gambling, before they finally get to picking the week 12 games in the NFL. Happy Thanksgiving everyone?

To start off this thrilling episode they delve into the phenomenon known as Police Academy movie franchise and the career of Micheal Winslow. That leads them into trying to recreate or modernize Hollywood Squares and how many TikTok stars would fill out the board. Chris tries to engage Kris on the World Cup, but doesn't really get anywhere. Then they talk a little hoops and end as always sucking at betting on all NFL games for week 11.

They start off the show talking about fear of flying and how much the whole airport system sucks. Long story short, Kris used to throw up on airplanes all the time. Chris is disappointed in baseball again (glad that's over). Then they barely talk hoops before finishing off with the week 10 NFL picks, where they coin the phrase Bill Beliflex. Cause once again he's a genius for something no else would thing of.

Oh this one's a giggle fest. The boys discuss what low level actors might listen to the show. They move onto CB radios, party lines on the old house phones, AOL chat rooms, and bad email names. Chris is all in on the Phillie World Series and hating the Astros for bad cheating. Also what the hell are the Nets doing and thinking? None of this is okay. Finally they picks the NFL week 9 games.

This is definitely a Grind My Gears episode, so all you old white men will really enjoy this. They go in on laundry pod bag opening, convenient stores aren't convenient - it's all locked down now, bad presents from significant others, and the chances of the Phillies even winning a game. Oh and does Doc need to be fired now? Then we talk a little hoops before picking all week 8 games in the NFL. Geno Smith 4 Life!

We discuss cigarette holders and what are they for, how vaping is actually the new pipes (not cigarettes), weird formal living rooms in our parents houses. We give some love to Angela Lansbury and appreciating Garfield without the thought bubbles. Is BravoCon a good idea or a great idea? Then we briefly discuss the NBA opening week, the appealing disaster of the MLB Playoffs. Topping it all off, we continue to lose money betting on every week 7 NFL game.

Chris goes off on shitty haircuts, shitty pizza and living in a shitty New Jersey suburb. Oh and shitty MLB Wild Card Playoffs...or wait they actually kinda like that. Then they finish off the episode by making their shitty NFL week 6 picks.

We talk about or best (or worst) Halloween costumes. Chris got swept up in the wrong Linsantiy documentary...and now he's a Christian. Kris thinks he can dunk off a trampoline. And then these two continue their crappy gambling picks for this NFL season. In all fairness the whole season kinda sucks anyways.

Coolio is dead, Weird Al is uncancellable and baseball sucks every time. We drop some dimes on NBA headlines and then we gamble our lives away on week for 4 of the NFL. Parity and injuries are not a good combination for football.

What the heck is going on with the Eastern Conference coaches in the NBA? Congrats to The Las Vegas Aces, you deserve all the praise and glory. Way to go champs! I think Chris had something else to rant about, we weren't really listening. We finish off the episodes like always trying to bet on every damn game in the NFL during week 3. smoke 'em if ya got 'em.

Chris is on a beach somewhere with Grave Digger. Sounds like a very romantic getaway. But he lets go of the wheel to talk some video games, WNBA playoffs & giving Becky Hammon so much love and respect. Then they pick the NFL weeks 2 games while arguing over their love of Geno Smith.

We start off with our brand new segment... The Relistnenables! This week we re-listen to The Divinyls. Don't worry the segment won't last after this. We say thanks but hopefully not goodbye to our GOAT - Sue Bird. Also the WNBA Playoffs are must-see TV. As always, it's time for our NFL week 1 picks. We've got a system to start off the season. It couldn't possibly back-fire on us, right?
